There are only 3 EP-3E's c...

H-47ER is similar akin to the Nightstalkers MH-47G.
Not really as an MH-47G has a range of 860 miles, and this H-47ER will get a range of 1200miles.....That's REALLY impressive !!

Thanks Zack, well my sugestion for Tejas was correct :blush:
They were never bringing Tajes. 5 x mirage 2000 were the jets coming.

Reading clearly is also an art.

AK01 refers to the Tejas that operating in Ex Desert Flag.

Re: Recent Mildenhall

Nice pics Ashley.

One question; I saw pics also taken at your position when aircraft take taxiway "Echo" but the other pics I saw had the wheels of the aircraft cut off by the gras. Is that when you take them without a ladder ?? You used a stepladder I assume ?

DUE ; Thursday August 7th RAAF C-17A A41-211

There's a flightplan for an Australian C-17 from Eindhoven , The Netherlands to Brize.

Departure Eindhoven 1100LT so arriving at Brize around 1045-11.00LT I think.

Departure from Brize should be around 1700LT as it should be back on Eindhoven around 1905LT.
